Equipment

  • Water bath or tempering device for melting the chocolate
  • Small pot
  • Kitchen scale
  • Candy thermometer for tempering the chocolate
  • Squeeze Bottle for sealing the hollow balls
  • Piping bag for filling the hollow spheres
  • Small Sieve for straining the orange marmalade
  • Mixing bowl microwave-safe
  • Bowl for rolling the truffles
  • Chocolate paper molds for the finished truffles
  • Air-tight container For storing the finished chocolates
  • Parchment Paper for placing the almond sliver covered truffles

Ingredients
 
 

  • cup Dark chocolate
  • cup Orange marmalade
  • tablespoon Rum can be substituted with water or natural orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon Glucose
  • 21 Dark hollow spheres
  • cup Dark chocolate to seal the chocolates
  • Minced almond slivers for rolling store bought or homemade with a food processor

Instructions
 

  • Weigh the glucose into a bowl suitable for the microwave and strain the orange marmalade directly into it.
    1 teaspoon Glucose, ⅓ cup Orange marmalade
  • Now heat this mixture in the microwave to 32 °C // 89.6 °F.
  • Then stir in the rum. If you want non-alcoholic chocolates, use water or natural orange juice instead of rum in this step.
    1¼ tablespoon Rum
  • Heat the dark chocolate in the microwave or a water bath to a maximum of 32 °C // 89.6 °F and stir in the fruit mixture.
    ⅓ cup Dark chocolate
  • Now place your chocolate hollow spheres on the kitchen table, ready to be filled in the next step.
    21 Dark hollow spheres
  • Fill the chocolate-orange marmalade mixture into a piping bag.
  • Once the piping bag is filled, twist the wide end together to build up good pressure.
  • Fill up the hollow spheres with the orange ganache to just below the rim.
  • I recommend doing this slowly and gently, so there are no air spaces.
  • Place the filled hollow spheres in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours to crystallize.
  • After the cooling time, start tempering the chocolate. You can do this in a water bath or a tempering device.
  • First, you need to seal the chocolates. To do this, pour a small amount of the melted chocolate into a squeeze bottle and seal the opening with the chocolate with a small dot.
    ⅓ cup Dark chocolate
  • Place the sealed chocolates in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  • Prepare the minced almond slivers in a bowl next to your melted chocolate.
    Minced almond slivers for rolling
  • Prepare the chocolate paper cups or a sandwich paper to place the truffles after rolling.
  • Now take your sealed chocolates out of the refrigerator and take 1-4 chocolates in one hand.
  • Dip the fingers of the other hand into the melted couverture and coat and roll the 1-4 chocolates. Once you have them nicely coated with couverture, place them in the prepared bowl of almond slivers.
  • Move the bowl back and forth to roll the chocolates in the almond flakes evenly. Place them on a piece of greaseproof paper or directly in the cups afterward.
  • Keep doing so until all the pralines are coated and decorated with almond slivers.
  • Place them in the chocolate paper molds and store them in an air-tight container.
